Hello humans! Today’s title holds a special place in my heart for a number of reasons, the most pertinent of those reasons is that the first book in this series, Flame in the Mist, was the book in the first ever Fairyloot box I received. It’s hard to believe I’ve had almost thirteen boxes and... Continue Reading →
Throne of Glass, Sarah J. Maas – Book Review
Hello humans! Firstly, I know there’s a lot of controversy and feelings surrounding Sarah J. Maas and I’m wary of mentioning her books on the blog because she can be a little polarising. But I also wanted to read the Throne of Glass series because I had heard so many different things about it. I... Continue Reading →
Ash Princess, Laura Sebastian – Book Review
Hello humans! Another hugely anticipated read takes centre stage today as I am reviewing Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian. This is one of those YA books that I have a feeling everyone will be talking about (for better or worse). I don’t think you can ignore the cover’s similarity to those of the Red Queen...

Want to Read Wednesday – Circe
Hello humans! Welcome back to another Want to Read Wednesday post, today I'm heading back to my ancient history roots with Circe by Madeline Miller. You know those books that you long for, but can't quite justify buying at the moment? Yeah, that's me with this book. I'm totally desperate to read it and the hardcover edition is so shiny...

TTT – Best Character Names
Hello humans! Today it is once more Top Ten Tuesday (funny how that comes around every week isn’t it?). The theme for this week is character names, now there are some amazing character names out there (and then there are some with extraneous Xs and Ys in typical fantasy fashion) but I have selected ten...

The Rose Society, Marie Lu – Book Review
Hello humans! That’s right it’s book two of my adventure through the works of Marie Lu (and so far it’s going pretty well!). I debated starting Legend now and then alternating through the two trilogies but instead decided I couldn’t wait to read the sequel to The Young Elites so cracked on with The Rose...

Books as a means to escape…
Hello humans! It’s been a wee while since we’ve had a silly Sunday post isn’t it? I blame the book reviews. But at last I have found a space in my schedule to write this post, I hope you enjoy it! We all know books are a means to escape, escaping from the drudgery of... Continue Reading →
Eve of Man, Giovanna Fletcher and Tom Fletcher – Book Review
Hello humans! For those of us who are bookishly inclined, I think there’s a small worry at the back of our minds whenever anyone ‘famous’ (I use quotation marks because I think celebrity means different things to different people) gets a publishing deal. I’ll confess to not having read a huge number of books of... Continue Reading →
Tess of the Road, Rachel Hartman – Book Review
Hello humans! It’s no secret that I adore both Seraphina and Shadow Scale for many reasons, but largely the dragons. So as soon as I realised there was going to be another book in the same setting I was the most excited I had been for a long time. I pre-ordered it instantly and basically... Continue Reading →
A Thousand Perfect Notes, C. G. Drews – Book Review
Hello humans! Today I’m reviewing one of the most anticipated YA contemporary titles in the book blogging community. This particular title comes from one of our own, the lovely (and terrifying) C. G. Drews otherwise known as Paper Fury. I’ve been following Paper Fury on Twitter since the very early days of my blog so... Continue Reading →
TTT – Books I Disliked but I’m Glad I Read
Is this just the bragging week? Probably... Hello humans! Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post where today I am talking about books that may not have been my favourites but I am glad I read nonetheless. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and is an awesome way to discover new bloggers who... Continue Reading →
Legendary, Stephanie Garber – Book Review
Hello humans! I remember back when I started blogging it was sort of the peak of the Caraval hype. I was so into all of the circus-themed things that were going on and I ordered a copy like that *snaps fingers*. Looking back at my review (because remembering things from a year ago is hard)...
